Description
Dashboard Widgets Order lets the administrator rearrange the WordPress dashboard widgets by dragging and dropping them and apply that same order to every other user with access to the site, with no code editing required. It’s built for anyone who manages a site with several editors or collaborators and wants everyone’s dashboard to always open with the most important information already at the top, instead of each person rearranging it on their own.
